I just bought the new Zenfone Max Pro M2 from lazada and it will arrive today. I just remembered when I bought my previous phone the seller recommended me to charge it for 8 hours straight first. So I'll ask you pros here, is that really a requirement?

Not anymore. Battery technology has advanced leaps and bounds since the days of charging 8 hours.

You can just use it as you like right out of the box. Li-Po/Li-Ion batteries don't have the memory effect and they do not need to be fully charged every time.

Nope.

Charge whenever you need to charge. It's that simple.
